Just issue "setup -f all" and go trought the setup (it takes ages, but
someone has to do it ;)
in "port" part of the setup make the following answers:
ennable serial printer mouse port support ? YES!!
when the setup asks about mouse port, say /dev/psaux
after that the setup asks for mouse protocol, say PS/2
when it asks about GPM say yes, for mouse protocol say ps2
after the setup progress has finnished say "setup -s" so you donät
have to do that again...

Same for me, no documentation, execpt for the docking station... (I
haven't even got a working AC adapter, have to charce my batteries
with that docking station :( )
If you want I can send you my modified initation files, wich should
be fine, as you have the same machine as me..
for general as I don't know so much about linux, I looked trought
the /setup/fun files and what they will do, then replaced the "setup -
something" commands with thoise found in *.fun files and my
thinkpad now boots much faster.
